New Jersey Delegates Cannot Decide
on a Chairman.

TRENTON. N.. J., October l—The
mixed situation of last night with re-
spect to the nomination to be made by
today’s Democratic gubernatorial con-
vention was not cleared up at ten
o'clock this morning. The delegates
had all arrived by this time, but the
convention caucuses had not been
held and no definite figures could he
arrived at as to when side had a ma-
iorily.

At 11 o'clock it looked as tnough the
battle would have to ca fought out in
the convention and the effort would be
to old the anti-Seymour force for ex-
Co gressman Thomas M. Farrell, of
Gloucester county, who next to Say
mo‘ur, has the highest number of dele-
gates. The anti-Seymour people an-
nounced their determination to push
state chairman Gourley for permanent
chairman of the convention.

MAY NOT BE BUILT.

 

 

No Present indications of Constructing
The East Granby Railroad Loop.

Although several weeks have elaps-
ed since the railroad commissioners

gave the desired permission for the
construction of the loop through East
Granbury to connect the two ends or
the Springfield branch of the Central
New England Railroad. it is under-
stood that the preparation for one
work of building the new line has not
yet begun. and that these are no indies
tions that the loop is to be construct-
ed. at least during the present year.

it is said that the Central New Eng-
land people have not yet given up the
idea of finally completing their line
across the Wagner farm in East Gran-
by. and that the action of the company
in obtaining official approval of the
loop line was merely a step in the pro-
cess by which the building of the line
on the original iineis to be accom-
plished. How this is to be done is a
my tory to all except those on the in.
sir c, but that there is some plan of
this sort is thought to be indicated by
the fact that there is no sign of any
effort to begin work on the four miles
and more of road which the railroad
commissioners have said may be built.

if a company were formed to built a
line across the narrow strip of land
owned by the Consolidated under the
general railroad law of the state, the
railroad commissioners would have
full authority to approve the layout.
The only possible objector would be
the Consolidated. and the only ground
on which the concern could base its
opposition would be that the smaller
branch of the Legislature had by a‘
small majority rofuscd.to'authorlze the
completion of the Central New Eng-
land line across that land. To this the
latter could reply that the more num-
erous branch of the Legislature had
voted to grant the rl nt asked for. Had
both branches take a positive stand
against the construction of the line
the cause would. of course, be quite.
different.

ADMIRAL EVANS RECALLED.

Tells of incidents on board the war-
ships in July.

WASHINGTON. October 1-When
the tchley of inquiry met today much
sympathy was expressed on the part
of the members of the court and those
in attendances with Judge Advocat
Lemly because of the death of his sis
ter which occurred yesterday. Cap~
lain Lemly was present when the court
convened. but immediately wit rcw.
Captain Miller who conlnmndci the
collier Merrimac before she was sunk
by Lieutenane Hobson was called for
the purpose of correcting the ‘ official
59.00"} of his testimony given yester-

ay. .

Admiral Evans was then recalled.

Mr. Rayner began his interrogations
by asking the witness concerning the
secret code of signals for communicat-
ing with the Cuban insurgents near
Cienfuegos. The. admiral said that
when Captain Chadwick communicat-
ed this code to him us did not instruct
him to give the information to Com-
modore Schley. Mr. Raynor than
question the witness especially as to
his interviews with Commodore Schley
after the battle of Santiago.

Mr. Rayner asked: “Did you have a
conversation with Commodore Schley
on .luly 4th some time during the
touring between 8 and 12 o’clock on his
flagshlps at Santiago. in the course of
which you used language as follows:
‘Did you know that Jack Philip started
to run away at the beginning 0. the bat
tlc.‘ and to which Commodore Schley
replied: ‘You are mistaken about that
Evans. I saw nothing of the kind. The.
lirooklyn made a turn and you must
see the tactical situation that made it
necessary."

“I do not remember being on board
the Brooklyn on the Fourth of July. I
think it was the fifth at Guantanamo.
I am quite positive I was not on board
the Brooklyn dff Santiago but once and
that was a long time before that. As
to that conversation. I never said any-
thing to the effect that Captain Philip
had run away or attempted to run
away. On thinking over. last night.
what did occur. with reiercnce to the
Texas. i think Commodore Schley and
I discussed the position of the Texas
when the fight began. The Texas was
lying with her head to the out when
the engagement began and she turned
with starboard helm and headed off in
the same direction as, the rest of us.
She firedfirst with her port battery.
and put her helm to unheard and
headed in the some direction with the
other ships. I think that question I dis—
cussed with Commodore Schley. I can—
not be sure of it. but that I ever intim-
ated that Captain Philip attempted to
run away with the Texas is preposter-
ous on the face of it."

"Did you have a conversation with
him on the some day. at the same place
and at the some hour. or at any other
place in which you and substantially
the following language: ‘I shot the
bow of! the Pluton. the stern on tho
Furor; put my helm tovstarboard and
raked the Teresa and knocked out the
Viscoya?’ ”

"To the best of my knowledge and
belief I never used such language."

."In the case under consideration the
Spanish-hips were present in the bar-
bor. The conditions were changed. and.
we would have totoko the risk of the
fire from the batteries in order to get
at them. 1 remember Commodore

and expressed the opinion to him that
it was not Worth while to risk ship's

gldirtiot tlhnk anything would be gained

y , A .
I wish to call your attention to the
report of Captain McCaila. of the Mar—
blehead. on page 526 of the Appendix,
which says: 'Commodore Sohley ex~
plained to the commanding officers that
in case the Spanish ships came out
he wished to concentrate the batteries
of all our ships on a portion of those of
the enemy. This was not explained as
a tactical concentration of our whole
force on a part of the canopy, but as a
division of our whole fire on several of
the enemy's ships. During the time the
commanding officers were on board the
flagship. Captain Evans asked Comma.
dare Schley if it were his intention to
steam at the enemy‘s ships in case they
should start to come out. Commodore
Schley answered: ‘Certainly.’ and add-
ed words indicative of his intention to
attack them as they came out of the
narrow defile."

"I recollect it perfectly."

"is that a correct statement?“

"That is correct."

“So there was a plan of battle arrang-
6(1ng Commodore Schley. was there
no ." -

There Is nothing there to indicate it.
from what you have read."

“Was not that the same order that
was afterward given by the command-
er-in-chief. substantially: 'Close in to-
ward harbor entrance and attach
them.’ " ‘

"You have not read anything about
indicating any plan of battle?"

Mr. Rayner-“l want to read you two
reports. your report of the engagement.
of the Spanish squadron. and I would
like you to tell me whether there is any
conflict between them. and if there is,
which one of these statements. in your
judgment now is correct: (reading)--
‘After having passed at 10:35. the
Ooucndo and Maria Teresa on fire and
ashore, this vessel continued to chase
and fire. upon the Viscaya until 10:30.
when signal to cease firing was sound—
ed on board. it having been discovered
that the Viscsya had'struck her colors.”

That was at 10586111 your report.
Now I want to read from the report of
the commander in chief: reading—‘The
Viscaya was soon set on fire, and at
11:15 she turned in: inshore and was
beached at Asseraderos. fifteen miles
from Santiago. burning fiercely. etc.’
Which of these is correct? if there is
a conflict between the commander~in~
chief, at the. time the Viscaya went
ashore. and yours at’10:36. and his at
11: 15. it becomes a material point to us
which one of these specification is cor-
rect." . .

"The. time given in that report of
mine was furnished by the navigator
and executive ocemr'of the ship. I. of
course. did not take the time."

Mr. Raynor then questioned the wit~
ness as to the speed the Iowa was mak-
ing when the Oquendo and the Maria
Teresa wont ashore. with intent to show
that the admiral‘s official reports and
his present statements as to speed were
not consistent. Mr. Raynor-'3 point was
that the official report showed accord-
ing to measurements. the Iowa had
made eight miles in half an hour. but
the admiral said than-while this might
be true. according to the land measure-
ments. it must be borne in mind that
he was running a course at sea. His
ship was going as fast as she could be
made to go and he thought her speed
was about 9% knots an hours."

"While before Cienfuegos or on the
way to Santiago. did you have any or~
ders for battle?” asked Mr. Hanna.

"No.” responded the witness.

"We steamed in column with fiankcrs
on each side."

“Had you any lnsrtuctions as to
what to do in case the enemy should

appear?”

"We had not."
“Admiral Evans was then excused.

and Thomas ll. Diednide. a newnpapel' '

correspondent, who was on board the

Texas. during the Santiago campaign.
